Dump truck driver from Northbridge facing drunken driving charge

MILLBURY — A dump truck driver stopped by state police for a commercial vehicle violation was later arrested on drinking and driving charges after the trooper found a cooler of beer in the vehicle.

Michael H. Heney, 49, of Northbridge, faces a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Mr. Heney was stopped on Main Street about 1:50 p.m. after Trooper Scott McGuire of the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section saw a commercial vehicle violation with the Mack 600 four-axle dump truck. The trooper had Mr. Heney follow him to West Street, where he could safely perform a closer inspection of the truck, owned by A. Savasta Trucking of Charlton.

After the investigation, the trooper placed Mr. Heney under arrest, and a subsequent search of the truck allegedly uncovered the cooler of Budweiser beer.

Mr. Heney is scheduled to be arraigned in Worcester Central District Court on Tuesday.
